I've only been in TV for 3 years, but this is something that always aggravates the heck out of me. Automobiles have the right of way. When someone stops to let me pass in a golf cart, I always wave them through. I don't want to take the chance if they change their mind or not paying attention.
I think the average "visitor" to TV, believes golf carts have the right of way and I think that causes a lot of problems.
Yesterday's "access gate" problem was on Morse Blvd (near Barraza Ct), where you need to drive your cart on Morse to get up to Tierra del Sol. There's some dope manning the gate with a "Stop Paddle", waving cars through. It's like a 3 Ring Circus, trying to make the left turn to get back on the MMP. One day last week, there were at least 6 carts sitting in the middle of Morse Blvd, while the on-duty "guard" was completely oblivious to what was going on.
Just my opinion, but when operating properly, the gates do their intended job. When there's an "attendant" on duty, potential disaster sets in.
